FOLLOWING fast on the announce
ment of a couple of weeks ago that Mrs,
Langtry was going to write a book
comes the startling intelligence that
John L. Sullivan, gentleman who
has hitherto been known chiefly in con-
nection with the prize ring, will give a
grand display Of his literary ability,
and dash off volume or so. The Bos-
ton Republic thus soliloquizes on the
matter: 1.-The literary attainments of
Mr.. Sullivan are not quite on par
with those of Matthew Arnold, for ex-
ample, but as an author by proxy he
may cut a less awkward figure in the
arena Of literature, using that term in
it's broadcast sense, than some of the
book making sfakirs' whose printed
bosh encumbers the shelves of the
booksellers. To carry out his career in
a truly American fashion he should
either mount the lecture platform or
jump into print. As a lecturer he
would scarcely fill tie bill, owing partly
to peculiarities Of idiom, partly to ex-
cessive fondness for too forcible ges-
lures; but undoubtedly he can. with
the aid Of a secretary get up some
thing in the shape Of a book. readable
If not model of style. An old-time
English pugilistic champion, John
Gully, became member Of Parliament :;

MICHAEL DAvITps FAREWELL

The demonstration in honor of Mi
chael Davitt which was held in Madi-
son Square Garden, New York city.
last Sunday evening, was compliment
richly merited by the great one-armed
patriot. Fully 10000 people assembled
to hear Mr.. Davitt define his present
position on the Irish land question and
learn his opinion as to the best course
for the Irish party to pursue in the fu-
ture More than ordinary Importance
was attached to Mr.. Davitt's remarks
on this occasion, as it was believed,
and reasonably SO, that he would in a
manner voice the prevailing sentiment
Of Irish-Americans. from whom he
has perhaps, drawn great many new
ideas. and formed certain conclusions.
There is not a single man in the United
States to day, not even excepting the
President of the Land League, who has
had such an excellent opportunity OF
Judging of the exact sentiment existing
upon this continent with regard to the
Irish question. He knows exactly what
our friends on the other side of the At
]antic can expect from the Irish people
living in America.
It must not b, forgotten that the
meeting last Sunday night was not
composed exclusively IF Irishmen on
the contrary, it was what might be con-
sidered fairly representative Amerl'
can audience.
In speaking of the evictions that are
daily occurring in Ireland, Mr.. Davitt
said he would have regarded it as justi-
fable homicide had the tenants shot
the bailiffs who outraged their homes
at Glenbeigh and Glencoe. That the
Glencoe people left the bailifts to es
cape alive was one of the characteristics
of the race, and he justly took to him
self credit for the pacific attitude Of the
Irish at home. He yet believed it un-
wise to oppose undisciplined force
against disciplined power. That
would mean sure defeat. lie thought
the Tory Government meant a war OF
determination, and let this policy be-
come known and all the wisdom of
Conservative leaders could not avert
some supreme act of retaliation. But
when such consummation shall have
been reached the common sense OF
Englishmen will have asserted itself.

Mr.. CLoRAN, formerly editor of The
Montreal Post, has been nominated as
the Liberal candidate for Montreal
Centre in the forthcoming Canadian
Dominion elections. He is young
man of great ability as speaker and a
writer, and if elected, which is pro-
bable, he will prove a valuable acquisi-
tion to Mr.. Blake's party. Mr.. Cloran
is cousin OF our esteemed fellow
citizen, Mr.. j. j. Kinnane. At the
Chicago National League Convention
he participated in the deliberations Of
that body as Canadian delegate. He

ditions, and they must be accepted with
fortitude. The great question is--how

IN, as she is most likely to do under a
Tory government, we must take the
consequences of our carelessness and
parsimony in not being able to meet on
equal terms her magnificent fleet even
in our own waters. What then? Our
Atlantic, Pacific and Lake seaboards
are utterly at the mercy Of the British
admirals, who can lie off snugly out of
range and pepper New York, San Fran
cisco, Boston. aye and even Chicago,
with perfect impunity. 1t is then that
our legislative wiseacres, both in the
Senate aud House of Representatives.
will begin to realize how easily, in
spite of all their false confidence,
their country may be made to suffer for
their selfshness and imbecility.
ssWe have no Notifications, no fleet,
nothing with which to defend our
coasts or make ourselves felt on the
seas. but the brave hearts and the cool
heads of the American people, who are
always truly great in dangerous emer-
gencies. Still, if we should have war.
the people ought not to forgive the men
who voted against national armament
in Congress at critical time. Such
legislators may be excellent spoils hun
ters and Office brokers, but they are ex-
ceedingly poor patriots. Meanwhile
we should be devoutly thankful that we
have an Ericsson and a Boyton left to
the United States. If we cannot meet
the English. owing to what we have
stated, broadside to broadside, we can,
at least hoist them out of the water
with torpedoes, and ether peculiar in
struments of coast defense-if our in
ventors can only reach their men-of-
war;
There is more truth than poetry in
the remarks of the Citizen, and the diff
ficulties which have arisen with regard
to the fisheries may havea beneficial ef-
feet upon our legislators by awakening
them to realization of the fact that
the United States may not long enjoy
immunity from invasion by foreign
countries.

O'Connell at the house of mutual
friend in the mountains of Wicklow,
and after exchanging their opinions
on the deplorable state to which the
Catholic mind had been reduced, and
the utter want of system and organ

those gentlemen that they should
both sign an address to the Irish
Catholics, and enclose it to the prin-

The population of Carlow county,
Ireland, is not more than half what it
was less than half a century ago. In
1841 there were 86,228 inhabitants in
Carlow; by the last census, 1881, only
49, .568. In 1841 there 1862 inhabited
houses in the county; in 1881 only
1886. The greatest clearance has
taken place in the barony of Forth
where the population since l841 has de-
creased from II, ,427 to 5,522, and the
homes from 1,948 to 1.133.

THE SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.

The British House of Commons
opened last Thursday. This session will
probably be one of the stormiest in tht
history of Great Britain. If Lord Sal
isbury succeeds in doing everything
he has laid out for himself he will sur
prise even his most intimate friends
The following is synopsis of tht
Speech from the Throne:
England IS foreign relations are friend
". Affairs in Southeastern Europe
are in fair way of settlement, but
England must insist upon the observ'
ance of the treaty of Berlin. In Bur.
NAH and Egypt there is gratifying
improvement. Grave anxiety is caused
by the state of Ireland. The system
adopted there, combining to force ten
ants to evade just debts, may compel
further legislation. and the government
will not hesitate to ask additional pow.
ers if necessary. The bills to be sub
mitted by the government relate to
land transfers, railway rates, trade
marks and the facilitation Of dgricul-
2tural allotments. The speech is char
.acterized by more than the usual vague
ness. The hints of legislation for Ire
land are especially obscure. The only
allusion to the conspiracy bill is found
I'm the reference to the Plan Of
Campaign and the governments inten-
I ton to introduce, if necessary, bill
altering the existing law so as to enable
sit. to cope with the movement. The in
ssdication Of the extension Of the Ash
bourne act is given in the expression Of
hope that the labors Of the rent
will issue in q measure to
aneliorate the condition of the country.
